Abu Dhabi: Nearly four million travellers have flown the routes which Etihad Airways operates to and from China until now, the airline said on Thursday as it celebrates ten years of operations in China this week.
The airline first launched an Abu Dhabi to Beijing service in 2008, followed by Chengdu in 2011, Shanghai in 2012 and Hong Kong in 2015. It also has code-share partnerships with Hainan Airlines, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines.
“We wish to express our heartfelt appreciation for the tremendous support and recognition we’ve received over the past 10 years from our guests and all our stakeholders. They have all been instrumental in cementing Etihad’s position as a leading airline in this market and beyond,” said Peter Baumgartner, Etihad Airways Chief Executive Officer.
